EUROPES DOGS OF WAR.
RUSSIA STILL RUSHING TROOPS TO
THE FRONTIER.

ST. Petersburg Editors Say 1t is Done
to Guard Against the Danger of an
Attack by the Allies-The Berlin Ma
tional Gazette Says All is in Doubt.
BERLIN, Dec. 7.--The National Gazette
discussing the Vienna Friedenbldtts arti-
Gle relative to the massing of troops on the
Russian frontier, says it is evident that
tine force of Russian troops now in Poland is
not sufficient to attack two formidable mill
tary powers. The present massing of troops
is too small for war and too large for peace.
We must wait and see how Russia will
reconcile the massing with the pacific as
surances of the Journal deS st. Peters
bOltrg.
BULGARIA's POSITION.
The Cologne Gazette says: "Two opin-
ions prevail at st. Petersburg regarding
Bulgaria. On one side diplomatic solution
of the problem is favored, while on the
other military measures are believed to be
necessary in order to exercise pressure upon
the powers, especially upon Austria. With
Austria remains the choice between a
serious conflict and acceptance Of settle
ment agreeable to Russia"

in relation to the Cars recent visit to Ber

points: First that the Cars conversation
with Prince Bismarck showed that there
was not the slightest reason for a
breach between Germany and Russia
second, that Prince Bismarck promised that
Germany would remain neutral in Bull
garian affairs; and third, that both govern

RUssIA's REToRT IN KIND.
PARIS, Dec. 7-According to private ad-
vices from Warsaw this morning the mass
ing of Russian troops on the frontier is at
tributable to information received by Rus
sia of a concerted plan by Germany and
Austria for united action in the event of
war between either of these powers and
Russia. In that contingency it was pro-
posed that Germany and Austria should
suddenly invade Russian Poland and occupy
Warsaw 10y using their greater facilities for
mobilizing In consequence of the discovery
of this alleged project, Russia resolved to
compensate for her slow power of mobiliZing
by permanent increase of her frontier
forces. The movement implies no aggres-
sion, but is purely a defensive precaution.
AUsTRIA's MILITARY COUNCIL.
VIENNA, Dec 7.-Emperor Francis
Joseph will preside at the military council
which is to be held at the Palace tomorrow
for the purpose of considering what steps
are necessary III view of the collection of
Russian troops on the frontier
The Political Correspondence semi-offl-
cially denies the report that the powers in
terested have officially sent a note to Rus
sia in reference to the increased force of
troops on the frontier. The paper says Aus
trias frontier guards will be completely
organized, and their numbers increased. It
adds that the Russian censor has suppressed
all kilograms sent to Russia in reference to
the FriedenbIdtts article concerning Rus
sia's action.
BIsMARCK's DIPLOMACY.
The opinion is very general here that the
German press exaggerates the Importance
of the military movements in Russia in
order to disguise Prince Bismarck's diplo-
macy, the chief object of which is supposed
TO be the removal of the Gar from the in
fuence of those who desire to estrange Ger
many and Russia. The course of the Ger
man press is considered to be a dangerous
one, because, in the event of Prince Bis
marck failing in his purpose, it will increase
the tension of the situation. 1t is owing
more to possible failure on the part of Prince
Bismarck than the massing of Russian
troops that Austrian military precautions
may be necessary
RUssIA's HINT.
Moscow, Dec THE Gazette says:
'"The future policy of France will decide
whether Germany will be compelled to
watch one or both of her frontiers The
paper declares that Russia must always
have a strong fleet in the Pacific ocean
